Put MSUToday headlines on your page

The easiest way to get MSUToday headlines on your page is to include the following HTML code whereever you would like the headlines to appear:

<script language="javascript" src="http://msutoday.msu.edu/msutoday.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>

That will create a box identical to the following:

Customizing the headlines

There are currently nine settings you may wish to modify:

N - show News headlines
R - show Research headlines
A - show Athletics headlines
H - show headers (e.g. "News")
I - show icons
T - show title (180 pixel wide image)
P - show smaller title and "Provided by" (177 pixel wide image)
D - double-space the headlines
O - open all links in a new browser window
F - show only the first headline for each subject

You may select any combination of these options just by changing the src attribute of the script tag. For example, the code

<script language="javascript" src="http://msutoday.msu.edu/msutoday.NRP.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>

displays only the News and Research headlines as:

To double-space these headlines, you would just add a "D" to the src attribute, so the tag would become:

<script language="javascript" src="http://msutoday.msu.edu/msutoday.NRPD.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>

CSS styles

The HTML generated by the JavaScript file uses the following two CSS classes:

MSUTodayHeader
MSUTodayTitle

So if you are using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) on your page, you may wish to define these classes.
